Gesture Project Reflection Questions
I think that my drawings were successful in capturing movement of my subjects. I feel like I did a good job of showing movement in my drawings through my lines.
I think I did ok in abstracting the drawings that I made. One area of trouble that I had was with the heads of figures. I always felt that I had to leave the head on my figures, to give it a sense of being human, and because it was a lot harder to draw the figure without a head. The head often provided me with a starting point, to sort of "ground" my figure and give me a point of reference, but now when I'm working with making the figure more abstract, the head ruins the abstractness and makes everything look too human.
My intentions have changed in this project because I originally thought I would leave the head on my sculpture and my mockette, but its proving too difficult to sculpt a head that will stay on the form that I created. I think removing the head will make the figure more abstract, but I also think that the head kinda completes the sculpture. Ill see If I can find away to attach the head, but Im also worried that it might be difficult to sculpt.
I think I want to use a tall, medium width container, because I think that it would fit the dimensions of my figure the best.

Value Project Reflection
A. By persisting and engaging in the process of drawing and developing photos, I was able to create a drawing and 4 photo prints. I was able to resolve the issue of there being too much plank space in my drawing by shading part of the background and cropping the photo down to a smaller size.
I Feel like I have gained a greater sense of how to shade and make objects look 3-D from this project. I also discovered that different qualities of line can be very helpful in the shading process. I discovered that it is helpful to step back and view your drawing from a distance to get a better idea of the picture as a whole. I also learned how to develop photos from a negative.
B. I felt more comfortable with drawing because it was more familiar to me
I felt that drawing allowed for more expression because it is easier to change your drawings than your photos.
I think that if we could experiment more with the settings in the darkroom, aperture and time, then I would feel more comfortable developing photos
